I think these people
are marching through the streets because i see a street light in the backround.
I see some white people with the colored people holding a sign.
I wonder why they are marching throught the street at night .
I think that they chose the words 'We Shall Overcome' because it means that they will get over this bad time.
I see other signs other than the banner 'We Shall Overcome.'
I wonder what those other signs mean.
I think that these people are brave to go through the streets at night to protest.
I see the face exprestions of the other people. they all have serious looks.
I wonder if they are scared that they might be attacked.
I think that they belive that this march and signs will send a message out to everyone else.
I see lines of other people in the backround.
I wonder why they are in a small line and not spred out.
I think that they put a lot of thought into picking the right words for the banner.
I see that the white man in the frount looks more scared then serious.
I wonder if the line of people in the backround are on lookers or they are apart of the march too.
Celina 63Examples of Discrimination
In the book A Tugging String there are examples of discrimination. Such as when Dorothy Milton first went to vote the 'colored' door was locked even though the whites door was open and there was people inside the building. This shows that the white people were still racist and did not want colored people to vote so locking the door to the entrance so they could not get in. Even that they had a 'colored' door shows rasism and that the white people think that they are better then the colored. The next time she went to vote she got into the building but could not adomadicly vote. The white girl that was sitting behind the counter did not pay any attention to Dorothy, showing that she thinks she is much higher than her and does not care about colored people. Dorothy sat in the room for a very long time and finally went up to the lady and asked to vote,and in order to vote she needed to take a test. This test inculed pointless questions,such as a question Dorothy found most ridiculous. The question was 'How many bubbles are in a bar of soap." The whites made up a test for the colored that consisted of stupid pointless question that no one knew the answer to. They did this so coloreds could not past the test, therefore coloreds could not vote. Whites did not want coloreds to vote because they thought their opinion was pointless.

They got like beaten just because they were black and were going to march into town. I thought the violance got out of hand because the whites used clubs and ran over the blacks with horses to brake bones and skulls. The blacks didn't even do any thing. They also called them some bad names.

The black people were trying to protest peacfully and march to montgomery, and the governor, has already forbidden the march. And the police were attacking them as soon as they got there with tear gas, nausea gas, running them over with their horses, hitting them with billy clubs, many went to the hospital and the jail, and of course they went to the 'coloreds' part of the jail and the 'coloreds' side of the hospital.
